Harmonic Wineglass Kontakt Instrument by MA Simon

MA Simon has released an incredible Glass Harmonica instrument.

Here's a patchlist:

-> Patch 01-02 - Sustained Wineglass (Glassharmonica):
I sampled every halfstep from f2 - b4. But I then further extended the instrument from c2 up to e5 for better playability. 1 velocity layer, but you can control the volume either by velocity or modwheel. Each sample is about 25 seconds long (!) and looped.

-> Patch 03-04 - Wineglass hit with an iron fork:
I sampled 16 velocity layers and pitched them accros the whole playing range. There are 2 different patches.

-> Patch 05 Glass Piano V1:
I created this patch by editing the start and attack parameters of each sample in Kontakt using the sustained samples. 1 velocity layer.

-> Patch 06-07 Glass Piano V2:
A very aery almost synth like piano sound. I included 2 versions, one with 5 round robin samples and another one with no round robins. (so it sounds more "fixed")

-> Patch 08 Warm Glass Pad:
A bonus patch! It is a nice warm glass like pad-sound consisting of 3 velocity layers with 2rr each.

Notes:
-> You can control the attack and release settings of each patch directly via the kontakt interface.
-> Velocity controlled patches use the modwheel for a vibrato effect.
-> This is a Kontakt 4 library so you will need the full version of Kontakt 4 or 5! All samples are compressed in Kontakts ncw format.

This really is a magical instrument - listen to the demo on the product page to fully appreciate what is possible:

Available at Sampleism for £4.99
